Landmark Hotel - Winter Garden
Date of Visit: 16.09.17
Time: 4pm
Review:
A short 7min walk from Baker St station and moments away from Marylebone station the hotel is ideally located with many bus routes and Selfridges and Oxford street a short bus journey away.
As you enter you see the grand courtyard and palms greeting you and transporting you to a new place in time and location. You feel like you have travelled to a new country and ready to start your holiday and culinary journey awaits.
A great feel and the open area is even more impressive if you walk up the staircase and view from the mezzanine level with the live pianist and comfortable seating area.
As you enter the winter garden you are immediately greeted and we were seated not to long after even though we were early.
Menus provided and explained in detail but luckily i also enquired before hand about vegetarian options so was aware this was an option. However when the menu was explained we were again asked about any dietary requirements and given options of no meat, no gelatine and no alcohol but i have a feeling that many other options available and very impressed by this.
You are first served with your selection of tea and you can order other drinks if you wish you just maybe charged. Anytime you wish your tea is served to you and refreshed as you need.
Staff always attentive and you are never kept waiting too long. Always smiling and friendly.
Soon after the sandwich selection arrives without the crust and each one is explained. If you finish your selection more are immediately offered and served up. All great tasting with fresh ingredients and not overpowering, cucumber sandwich was fresh and especially also liked the pepper and cream cheese.
After you have completed your sandwiches your scones are served followed by your dessert selection and again you are offered more scones should you wish and at every stage tea is topped up as needed. Scones again home made and fluffy and you get to select two jams (we had strawberry and apricot) and you also get clotted cream but ample servings provided. I am not a scone person but still loved them.
Lets see if you get space for dessert but amazing little selection provided and such great flavour and each looks like it was meticulously made. Hence it is worth ordering one of each of the afternoon teas as you can then get to taste the various desserts and yes you can take away any you don’t finish in a nice handy take away box which also has some style to it.
You won’t go away hungry.
Booking Process: Booked via email and after chasing once the process was easy and responses forthcoming. You do have to provide your credit card details for booking to be confirmed and there is a cancellation charge.
Location: 222 Marylebone Road, London NW1 6JQ
Decor & Lighting: Very large and bright courtyard given you are sitting in the glass atrium so flooded with natural light.
Ambience & Acoustics: You have a live pianist playing but it is very much background music and you can hear any conversation with ease and given the expansive area they have done extremely well with the acoustics.
We had the following:
Drinks: Winter Garden Blend (Tea), English Breakfast (Tea)
Food:
Winter Garden Afternoon Tea (Vegetarian Version)
Chocolate Afternoon Tea (Vegetarian Version)
Sandwiches: Cucumber, Egg Mayonnaise, Buffalo mozzarella with pesto and tomato, mixed pepper with cream cheese.
Scone: Apple and Raisin, Chocolate chip and fruit peel.
Dessert: Pistachio and Raspberry Bakewell, Coconut and chocolate macaroon, Banana, pecan nut and milk chocolate cake, blood orange and white chocolate mousse, Pistachio and chocolate Opera gateau, to name just a few…
Desert: See Above
Bill / Cost: £165.00 for three inc service charge etc (£50-60 per head without the champagne option)
Conclusion: A very pleasant afternoon, we arrived early and had to wait a short time but the hotel did take us earlier as soon as they could accommodate. Every effort made to meet your dietary requirements so i would recommend a visit as even if you don’t like the menu it is worth asking for the other options as you will probably be pleasantly surprised. Even offered and provided a fruit platter for my mother who is diabetic. especially nice place to celebrate a birthday or anniversary.
Rating: 8.0 out of 10.0
I've always wanted to visit The Landmark Hotel after admiring some beautiful images of the stunning architecture, so what better time and excuse to visit than to celebrate our second girls reunion this year. Now that the three of us have settled in different parts of England (Newcastle, Birmingham, London), London seems to be the most strategic location to meet up - which definitely gets a thumbs up from me (!) Awarded 2 AA Rosettes, the Winter Garden is an all-day brasserie that is situated in the heart of the soaring eight-storey glass roof atrium. I do love places with high ceilings and natural light, and the palm trees gave the feel of being back on a tropical beach resort - now if only the temperature outside would warm up a bit ...
Champagne Sunday brunch - fabulous. Great range of fresh and interesting dishes to suit everyone. Truely unlimited champagne. Fois gras terrine, that was silky smooth, slightly smoky tuna cooked perfectly, slices of dill gravadlax, all delicious. Highlight was the bread and butter pudding which I even went back for seconds at the end of a lot of food! Highly recommend a visit for Sunday brunch.

Overall, the food, service and ambiance was brilliant. The setting is quite unique for London so would be a great choice for a special occasion. I’ve heard the Afternoon Teas are good (well, award-winning actually!) so will have to make a repeat visit.
We decided o a treat during our trip in August. Champagne Brunch at the Landmark Hotel was just the ticket. By booking something like this - I'm always a bit dubious as to how much 'champagne' you will be actually be served. Turns out -as much as you can drink! Glass was never empty. It was absolutely superb. The buffet had a mass variety of breakfast items, pastas and salads, sushi, and choices of main. The beef was melt in the mouth. And then came the desserts. A mass variety of cute and delicious mini desserts, such as lemon meringue pie and treacle tart. I would urge anyone who fancies a treat whilst visiting London to give this a try - cannot wait to go back.
It’s not everyday that we get the opportunity to spend time somewhere as luxurious as The Landmark London but today is an exception and we are here to enjoy a special Wimbledon-themed afternoon tea as guests of Ladbrokes Bingo. The Landmark London is a seriously impressive 5 Star hotel, and the eight story atrium complete with palm trees provides a magnificent setting for an afternoon tea.

The Winter Garden
sits in the centre of the Landmark Hotel, surrounded by palm trees that give
diners privacy and remove them from the everyday goings on around them. The
design of the restaurant is one of the most novel and pleasurable I’ve sat in ;
spacious and grand, with a sense of calm and luxury, without feeling
pretentious.
The high, glass
ceiling gives a wonderful sense of space, which many restaurants of today lack.
We were immediately
attended to by flexible, professional staff who were happy for us to make
tweaks to the menu due to dietary requirements or personal preferences.
The food is
high quality and there’s a great selection of dishes ; the salmon ceviche for
starters was succulent and delicate- the perfect way to get our appetite ready for main course. Then followed a hearty and flavoursome beef,
served under a sea of rich gravy and alongside green beans. My pan seared
bass had a wonderful, crispy outer that preserved the softness of the fish
inside, and was served with a potato fondant and a delicious salsa.
For dessert
came a warm chocolate bombe, served alongside coconut ice cream which balanced the
richness of the cake, and melted wonderfully when met with the gooey chocolate
centre.
All in all, one
of the best restaurant designs, as well as great service and very decent food. The
Winter Garden should be visited just for the decor and dining experience, if
nothing else !

I’ve no idea where this obsession has come from all of a sudden – but right now I just can’t get enough of afternoon tea. The idea of an afternoon tea or high tea, first came about in the 1800’s when a lady named, Anna – The Duchess of Bedford, complained of “having that sinking feeling” during the late afternoon. Anna wanted something simply to satisfy her afternoon hunger and see her through till dinner time. It was supposedly from here onwards that afternoon tea was born and saw it flourish during the 1880’s – becoming both an excuse to eat and dress up for the occasion. Afternoon tea is usually served around 3/4pm as a filler between lunch and dinner, where as high tea is served around 4/5pm and is meant to replace ones dinner. When it comes to historic, tradition and a true taste of the classic afternoon tea, The Landmark London is one of the finest London has to offer.
The Landmark London hotel is actually a rather odd place (in a good way). Firstly it’s huge – there are so many rooms, event spaces and large open hallways. There may be lots of people staying here, but you wouldn’t know – it’s all so tranquil and within the hustle and bustle of London, I rather like it this way. I’ve not stayed at the hotel before but I imagine it’s the place you come to relax, looking down from your window over the Winter Garden where the afternoon tea is held, with soft notes from the harp or piano playing in the background – a writers dream location. To get a real sense for the afternoon tea offering we went for the classic ‘Winter Garden Afternoon Tea’ priced at £40 or £45 with a glass of brut Champagne. We opted for the glass of buttery Champagne and followed with the Winter Garden tea – which was full of smooth tannins, flavour and purity.
Food wise the tea kicked off with a lovely selection of finger sandwiches. Organic egg mayonnaise and mustard cress, Lapsang Souchong smoked salmon, classic cucumber and my favourite – corn-fed chicken with tarragon creme fraiche on walnut bread. The other lovely thing they do here is constantly replenish your sandwich selection (if you wish) with a full tray making its way around the room throughout – just be carefull not to fill yourself up too quickly! The scones here are certainly some if the finest you’ll find in London too. We had the oh-so-hard task of having to sample two varieties – the classic and an apple with raisin creation. Both were utterly delicious, especially once spread with the thick Cornish clotted cream and our chosen home-made jams (you get to pick two). We went with a refreshing Gooseberry & Elderflower jam, plus a mouth-watering Bergeron Apricot (classic French summer apricot variety).
The sweet selection of cakes and pastry didn’t disappoint either – they were all magnificent and very intricately put together. The flourless pistachio bakewell with homemade fig and lemon jam was perhaps our least favourite if we had to choose one, but it was still very good. Cappuccino bavarois was the messiest to eat – but well worth it and tasting not too dissimilar to a tiramisu. Our favourite two (we couldn’t pick just one) was the hazelnut and orange macaroon along with the stunning white chocolate and pomegranate mouse which was topped with a heavenly white chocolate truffle – I even managed to eat them both before the other half even got a look in.
So I’ll admit, I’m pretty new to the whole afternoon tea experience. I’ve not grown up divulging in it and it’s only in my 20’s that I’ve now become a little bit addicted to the idea, but from my experiences so far The Landmark London is certainly the best afternoon tea I’ve had to date. It’s got decadence, history, class and tradition all encompassed under one stunning glass roof. At a starting price of £45 – it isn’t cheap – but it is worth every single penny.
The best Afternoon Tea I have had in London.
Everything was great. I loved the variety of different pastries and savories. It was well presented and the taste of each pastry was incredible. We had a good mix of everything. Later on we got scones with clotted cream and jam!! (you can chose btw plain or with raises)
The Winter Garden is a great location to have friends over and enjoy a delicious cup of tea!
PS. They also serve Gluten free afternoon tea!
My friends gave me a surprise birthday dinner at winter garden and everything was great. The location, ambience and service was really good. We opted for the set menu which was reasonably priced and have good selection of menu. I had artichoke salad, short rib beef and sorbets, they all very tasty especially the beef which was meltingly soft! Definitely a place to visit for special occasion.
Really nice place in a great location! It'd absolutely brilliant right in the English countryside, and the food is good too. O am very impressed, would go there again every day of the week.
Great breakfast in a great location.
You really feel like you're in a 5 star hotel (which you are!) and it's everything you would want or expect.
Great for a bit of star spotting too. We saw Adam Richman from MvF, the cheerleaders from the NFL and a few others.
Happily go with the boys for a big breakfast done properly, the Mrs or family.
Don't forget to walk off your breakfast with a walk into town, you'll need to!
Definite recommendation
Located in the Heart of London this venue offer you the typical British aristocratic, cozy atmosphere. The Winter Garden Restaurant and Bar is located in the popular Landmark Hotel and close to Baker Street and Madame Tussauds Museum. In the venue you can find British, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine.
I went there with my parents for an Afternoon tea after my university and stayed impressed by the kindness of the services we received there. We had a traditional Afternoon tea with 40 punds per person. The prices were a bit higher but we had a great time and I am highly recommending it!
This is a very casual place to celebrate a special occasion at. We went here to celebrate someone's eightieth birthday and found the staff to be very accommodating, quick and efficient. The food is very delicious and served in generous portions. I recommend this place to everyone due to the impeccable service and great food.
If you are looking for a good place to go for breakfast then this is just the right place that you should go to. You can eat one of your favourite omelettes. A freshly baked cake can also be a good add on. I thoroughly enjoyed my wholesome meal and intend to visit this place more often for the sheer courteousness of the staff.
My spouse and I loved the time we spent at this restaurant. The ambiance was quite average though. However, the staff was very efficient and attentive. They made sure that we had a great time. The decor of the place is quite nice. The coffee was delicious but ridiculously overpriced. You can go here once.
I recently tried this place for some tea experience and I loved it totally. The quality of tea was amazing with wonderful flavours to it. The food was excellent, especially the cakes which were delicious and the other options were quite decent as well. The service was pretty decent but I felt it could have been better. Anyhow I would love to visit this place again and would recommend others to try it as well.
The moment we entered this place, we were seated at a table. The view was very spectacular from our table. The menu was very varied and extensive. The sandwiches here are delicious and the scones were impressive as well. Everything was very beautifully presented as well. The tea was soothing and calm. The decor makes you relaxed as well. The service is great too. Definitely recommended.
I'm a regular at this place , and have never been disappointed , one reason I always come back . The food is great , good quality , and well presented too . The drinks are readily available . Will go back again soon . Would recommend to all .
I would come here very often had it not been for the high prices and the tiny portions of the food. the desserts are to die for. The atmosphere is calm and chilled out. The service is pot on. the drinks are delectable. I have not yet tried the food here, so shall do it next time.
Visited this place for an afternoon tea and had a splendid time here. To begin with, the tea menu expensive but definitely worth the high quality and experience this place provides. The seating is incredibly relaxing and beautiful. Staff is welcoming, attentive and amicable. This place is a must visit!
I have had the opportunity of having lunch at the restaurant and was very glad at the experience. The restaurant is perfect for a sunny afternoon and the ambiance is cool and refreshing. The food is delicious and sumptuous. I recommend this place for special dates too. The location is favorable too.
The location of this place makes you feel that you have been transported to a fairy tale land. The place is magnificent and you could visit for a supper. The quality of the food is just excellent. I would recommend you to try everything from sandwiches to scones to cakes. Although the place is a little expensive but it does call for an amazing dining experience.
The location of this restaurant is pretty class and gorgeous. I really suggest people check out the place for the awesome view. I really like the place's unique appeal to the customers to avoid using phones during the meal,which is quite sweet.
The menu has a basic but modern British cuisine on offer.There are also options for afternoon tea and Sunday lunch.The prices for the quality delivered is pretty good. The dishes on offer are a good selection and they taste amazing.I really loved my chocolate with banana mousse and scones.You must also try the Sunday roast which is really tasty and fresh!
Loved my time here!
For those people who can't control their sugar cravings, this place is absolute heaven in all its glory .There is a lot of variety in desserts available including a chocolate fountain, sorbets and ice cream, tarlets, fruit and cakes off all sorts. Everyone with a sweet tooth must visit.
I usually go there on Sunday for lunch. They serve really good buffet consisting a lot of healthy options to choose from. The champagne served in afternoon is also an amazing one and you must visit this place some time. I am pretty sure that you will get the value for your money.
This place is very well known around the city and is a flagship restaurant. The financial conferences are held at this place. Residing in the vicinity of this restaurant i have an idea when the place is booked for conferences and when it is available for everyone. This place is superb! Must visit!
GORGEOUS !!
When I entered the place, I was impressed by the space and its luminosity. Also, I was very excited. Our table was beautiful and decorated with fresh flowers. The staff is very helpful if you seem to be lost when looking at the menu.
I decided to order some of their aubergines and spinach tortellini with tomatoes and herb sauce, which revealed to be very delicate and smooth. As a dessert, I had some strawberries and almond cookies, which were delicious. The strawberries tasted very fresh.
Obviously, the garden is costly, and I suggest booking a table in advance. I would surely define this garden as one of the best places where to enjoy your day in the city!
Good service, great scones & finger sandwiches for teatime amidst a striking ambience.
Really good place to hold an event or gathering. Always a lot of light and good food and drink available
We went here for a post wedding tea party - was very enjoyable
My Review here is not for the Winter garden, but on The Landmark on the whole.
I had my Graduation Ceremony here in 2010, Just loved it. Though I did not pay a penny for the champagne or the food, but it was a wonderful experience.
The Ambience is amazing, and the food was fantastic. We had live music playing and had a great time.
The Champagne brunch in the Winter Garden at The Landmark Hotel is just too good to resist. It's 3 hours of non stop champagne and access to an extensive buffet containing a wide variety of lovely dishes.
You can go for breakfast, perhaps have an omelette from the Omelette station, or go for typical brunch dishes like Eggs Benedict. There was also a lovely fish pie, lots of salmon dishes, and a really good range of sea food and sushi. If you prefer Lunch to Brunch, you also have soups and roasts.
For those of us with a sweet tooth, this place is an absolute delight, as there is no skimping on the dessert selection either. Desserts included a chocolate fountain, sorbets and ice cream, tarlets, fruit and cakes off all sorts. I especially loved the marmalade meringues and the cup cakes.
In fact to really appreciate what's on offer here, it is best to make this the only meal of the day.
The venue is lovely too.
This has to be one of the best brunch spots in London.
I have been to the winter garden in Landmark for lunch and afternoon tea and I must say it has never ceased to impress me. The service is so exquisitely crafted, that watch in awe. The staff are very helpful with selections if you are lost in between the chocolate delights, sandwiches or the freshly baked scones. And to top it all the ambiance was designed to impress. If you fancy an expensive afternoon tea, you cannot go wrong with the landmark.
The Winter Garden Restaurant is one of the restaurants of the Landmark Hotel, a very old but well maintained hotel in central London. It serves traditional English food, well executed overall. Nothing fancy food wise, just good food. I had the set menu for £60 including a drink. As you can see from the pictures I had the sea bass ceviche, the slow cooked beef rib and a strawberry tart. All very good in their own right. Service wise, some were better than others, nothing outstanding there. I would recommend overall.
Everything was perfect except the minimum order amount is £55. Since there is no such information anywhere and we learned this at the time of ordering, I was not satisfied only because of this issue. However, I was pleased with the atmosphere, food and service. Also, thanks for the cake they gave us for our wedding anniversary.
We went here to celebrate our daughter's 1 year birthday and it was perfect. Relaxed atmosphere and attentive staff around. I made a pre inquires regarding specific diet and choice for our daughter three course and they really did their best to accommodate the request - even though we did not have book room to stay in . So thank you to the person I have been emailing, head of chef, waitress and waiters and front of House. We will definitely be back soon.
They even had a small personalised happy birthday wishes with small cake toped with a lovely pino birthday song - it was just perfect and a very nice touch.
Wonderful tea experience. Beautiful venue, delicious tea, and tasty treats. You will leave quite full. Loved the hotel’s specialty teas - the Landmark blend with Bourbon vanilla was my favorite and tested like a wedding cake in a cup.
Tried the set menu, and it did not disappoint. Service was pretty good and we loved the ambience. I would recommend the beef short ribs.
Booked the Landmark for afternoon tea for my mum as a surprise for her birthday! It did not disappoint, the sandwiches were tasty and tea was divine. The landmark blend was my favourite with vanilla notes. It is unlimited sandwich refills and unlimited tea / coffee refills with the choice of one change during the sitting. The 4* I have given due to the service which I felt they could have been much more attentive, asking for refill sandwiches and drink top ups. I have been to many afternoon teas all over the world and the service here was not great especially for the price paid.
My first time in this historic hotel. Wonderful interior and very innovative pastry. Delightful time. Would recommend.

The garden is very beautiful!!
From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality that made me feel like royalty. The ambiance was elegant and sophisticated, with plush armchairs and soft lighting creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere. The staff were all very friendly and nice we were lucky to be served by Emily, who was beyond friendly and listened to all our requests and provided them perfectly with a beautiful smile on her face.
The tea itself was a true delight, with an impressive selection of teas from around the world. The tea sommelier was incredibly knowledgeable and guided me through the various options, helping me choose the perfect blend to suit my taste. The tea was served in beautiful bone china cups and accompanied by a delicious array of pastries, cakes, sandwiches, and scones.
The pastries and cakes were masterfully crafted and tasted as good as they looked. The sandwiches were fresh and bursting with flavor, and the scones were warm, fluffy, and accompanied by jam and clotted cream. Each bite was a treat for the taste buds, and I savored every morsel.
But what really set this afternoon tea experience apart was the exceptional service. The staff were attentive and accommodating, anticipating my needs before I even had to ask. They made me feel like an honored guest, and I left feeling pampered and relaxed.
In summary, I cannot recommend this afternoon tea experience enough. If you're looking for a memorable and indulgent experience, look no further than [name of establishment]. It truly exceeded my expectations and left me with wonderful memories that I will cherish for a long time
I have a really good time there today to celebrate my birthday with my friend. Thx for preparing the cake, it’s lovely:) The afternoon tea is good as always, and I pretty like the scone and jam🥰
We booked the place for the high tea on my friend's b’day. It was a good idea we choose this restaurant because the vibe of the place is so good and it makes you feel like you are on a holiday with all the palm trees and soothing piano music in the background. The selection of teas was great it comes with varieties of sandwiches and cakes which was delicious and the service is on point.
We chose the Winter Garden for our post-wedding celebration meal and had a terrific time. The food was wonderful and the service was attentive; particular kudos is due to Emilia who marshalled proceedings. It was efficient but unrushed and the timing between courses was perfect. The set menu at £55 per head represented good value all things considered.
We were allocated a semi-private within the Winter Garden area and we can attest that the ambience was just as we had hoped.
We were a family of 12 adults and one infant, and everyone enjoyed their experience. We were seeking a special venue for a special occasion and the Winter Garden delivered.
My favourite afternoon tea in London !!! I love the palm trees and glass ceiling, feels like you are sitting outside. The sandwiches are delicious and you are constantly being offered more and tea refills. Service is great!!! The cakes are amazing! I would definitely come back again! Halal options.
On many occasions I have enjoyed Afternoon Tea here and thought I would try dinner.
First, Orton our waiter was excellent. His service was very good.
The chicken is Halal
Overall, the food was good however, my chicken dish lacked seasoning and had lots of small bones.
Traditional afternoon tea. Choice of finger sandwiches, scones and cakes. Unlimited tea/coffee and sandwiches. Chicken is halal. Beautiful decor and lovely atmosphere. Service and staff wonderful. Slightly overpriced for what it is. But I guess you are paying for the experience, nor for sandwiches and cake!
I have come to dine at the Winter garden on two separate occasions, one my anniversary and most recently my mum's birthday dinner. On both occasions the service we received at the restaurant have been unmatched. The team make you feel so much at home and go above and beyond to truly make your experience special.
Every single dish we ordered was cooked beautiful with such stunning flavours, so thank you to the chefs.
The hotel itself has a the most romantic atmosphere and is simply stunning. We will definitely be returning.
